Teachers should encourage students to engage with and enjoy reading by selecting interesting texts on topics like health facts or global warming. Students should be encouraged to respond to what they read by discussing what it meant to them and how it made them feel. Prediction is an important reading skill, so teachers can provide clues from materials like book covers and headlines to help students anticipate the content. Reading assignments should match students' ability levels and fully make use of reading material by continuing discussion and related tasks beyond just the initial reading.
